The Alan Grayson Appreciation Thread

[Francois Jeopardy]

Last edited Wed Oct 23, 2013, 10:14 PM - Edit history (1)

Rec and let Congressman Grayson know we support him and his 100%, grade A, fact based, no nonsense fight against the right wing tyranny.

For Twitter users, I suggest we send the tweet #grayson4dncchair

[JaneyVee]

1. Worth every penny of his salary!

[billhicks76]

93. A++++++++++

He's the best...between him Elizabeth Warren and the esteemed Russ Feingold we may have a future. Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden are not it...I do not trust them to represent us properly as they are too involved with all the wars and high finance schemes. Republican-Lite is not the way to go. I truly hope my fellow democrats realize this and are not fooled just because the horrible alternative from the rethuglicans is worse.

[whathehell]

2. I absolutely love Alan Grayson..

He grew up in a union, working class family and he is absolutely The Real Deal.

[ffr]

91. Beat me to it.

[whathehell]

122. Thanks..

Great minds think alike.

[quinnox]

3. It's rather unusual in todays politically cowardly age to have a guy like him speak the truth like

he does.

[Tikki]

4. This man is very ethical and has learned the truth is just that...the truth.

Tikki

[Skittles]

5. I like that he fights for the side of justice

his temperament reminds me of Alec Baldwin

[warrant46]

68. Not apparently according to Ms Wasserman Schultz

[Pretzel_Warrior]

6. He serves a useful purpose for other Democrats

he can say what they WANT to say, and then they can issue mild rebukes but be glad that what he said is now out there in the ether.

[sabrina 1]

45. If they WANT to say what he is saying, there is NO excuse for

them not to do so.

Just why would ANY Democrat not be willing to do what he is doing??

Sounds you made that up just for fun.

[IrishAyes]

73. Sounds like you don't understand how politics works either.

That's been SOP for everybody since the beginning. If you don't at least know how the engine works, quit trying to drive the old mechanics.

BTW, re our other confrontation: you wanted something boiled down to two words for those of less lofty status than you and your very preppy sounding pals; well, it's not original from me, but a very popular slogan going around now is: CLEAN HOUSE !!

[sabrina 1]

94. We know how 'the engine works'. That is why we voted for 'change'

remember? The old corrupt way was supposed to 'change' when we threw out all the Republicans in 2008. We had hoped that what YOU are now endorsing had run its corrupt, Corporate funded course.

It will. And it will be people like Grayson who begins that change. He apparently doesn't agree with you regarding 'how the GAME is played' and has proven that it doesn't have to be 'played' at all, because contrary to the political 'expert' opinion, those 'insiders' who lecture the rest of us ordinary citizens, it is NOT a game, political or otherwise. It involves people's lives. And we expect elected officials to work for those lives, NOT to accomodate what you appear to think it is 'all about'.

Grayson gets it. And we need and will find more like him and we will work to get rid of anyone who thinks their main job is to protect the corrupt status quo.

As for the rest of your comment, I have no idea what you are talking about.

If by 'lofty status' you mean 'working for the PEOPLE, thank you. That is my main concern. Your labels and intended personal attacks, the last resort of those who cannot defend their positions, mean zero to me.

[IrishAyes]

109. I KNEW IT - I JUST KNEW IT! YOU REALLY ARE A BETTER PERSON THAN ME!

Thanks so much for setting me straight. Don't wear out your arm slinging mud like a TP though. I hear it can affect your sex life.

[sabrina 1]

110. What is a 'TP'. And what does my sex life have to do with this?

Again, I am pretty immune to personal attacks, although you should worry that someone else might not feel the same way. If you have something you want to say about the TOPIC, which last I looked is not ME, although I'm flattered by your 'interest' I suppose, then do so. Otherwise you are making no sense so I'll leave you to your ranting.

[IrishAyes]

138. Gag/puke

TP: toilet paper/Tea Party

The rest you'll have to answer yourself. You're really getting bothersome with your steady drumbeat of "She's attacking me, ma!"

Egocentric paranoia is not your friend. If you get off twisting everything that way, why not give both of us a break? I'm getting very tired of you pestering me, child. If you don't like something I say, give it a rest before you dig yourself any deeper. You're behaving like a nasty spoiled brat, and you don't know half as much as you think you do.

Bug off.

[sabrina 1]

151. Gag Puke indeed! Do not address me if you are unable to

take responsibility for your nasty personal attacks. I believe you addressed me, with a flailing rant to which I responded.

If you can't handle the reaction to your personal attacks, then maybe you should refrain from that particular form of dialogue.

I do not know you, and you sure do not know me, but from now do not address me at all unless you can do it civilly.

If you DO address me with your fantasies, which I hope you will not, expect to have them pointed out and exposed for what they are or be prepared to back them up. You don't get to attack people here without a response no matter how much you would like to.

[IrishAyes]

152. You may consider yourself on ignore. Find yourself a shrink.

[sabrina 1]

156. I sincerely hope you mean that. I have no one on ignore, having zero

problem with discussion with anyone who wants it.

There's an old saying 'if you can't take the heat, stay out of the kitchen'. You engaged ME, remember, with a personal attack out of the blue. Now you're whining because personal attacks don't affect me in the slightest. That is bully behavior which doesn't go down very well here.

Please, use ignore. I just wasted several valuable minutes of my time,, or maybe not!

[noiretextatique]

168. For shame

A sensible pragmatic adult is trying to school you on the 'realities' that the very serious people say we must accept...if we hope to be very serious, pragmatic adults

[sabrina 1]

183. Lol, and another kick for Grayson's thread.

Pragmatic, one of the most overused and most misunderstood words in the English language over the past decade. I wonder if they even know its origin.

[noiretextatique]

208. there is nothing wrong with idealism

in fact, we need a balance between idealism and pragmatism in this country. you did good

[sabrina 1]

235. 'Aim for the sky, maybe you'll hit a tree'.

The problem with Dems is they've only been aiming at trees and we see where that 'pragmatism' got us.

Thanks for your comments they are much appreciated.

[ReRe]

178. Remember what they used to say about...

... someone who continually nagged you at school? He/she likes you Sabrina. Every time you answer back to him, it literally makes his day and eggs him on.

[sabrina 1]

181. Lol, looks like he bit off more than he could chew. Not just with me

but he appears to be having problems with others in the thread. I admit, old habits die hard. Give people enough rope, etc. etc. For me it is entertainment, if they want to play, I'm game. For them, who knows?

Oh, and it helps to kick Grayson's thread. My main reason for bothering at all. :-}

[ReRe]

182. Chessssssssss!

I love it.

Just changed my Av. Halloween spirt, don't ya know....

[whatchamacallit]

191. Them's fightin words, Chum!

[99Forever]

222. Sabrina is indeed, a better person than you.

By an order of magnitudes.

Thanks for recognizing the simple truth.

[IrishAyes]

224. My sarcasm is better than yours, btw.

Now why not bug off yourself? Let this die an overdue death. Between you and her and the rest of that pack, my Ignore List is as swollen as your egos.

[99Forever]

234. You're gonna ignore me?

I'm fucking crushed.

[L0oniX]

193. Favorite group: Barack Obama, 366 posts in the last 90 days (28% of total posts)

You're wasting your intelligence and time with this one. Mean while my ignore list is getting full of boggers.

[sabrina 1]

205. Lol, thanks. I guess there is a list of 'undesirables' somewhere since I have zero

recollection of this person who had a complete 'profile' of me.

I like to play sometimes if it helps kick a thread like this one. What is the old saying about using what presents itself for a better purpose? 'when life hands you a lemon, make lemonade'?

And another kick for Grayson, compliments of my new found 'fan'!

[jtuck004]

56. If they want to talk like half-assed Republicans, maybe they should find another party.

Or maybe they hide behind the D badge like a coward hides behind a child.

[IrishAyes]

79. With friends like you....

I don't think the Democratic Party needs enemies.

[jtuck004]

124. That's like getting advice from Ted Cruz. bn/t

[IrishAyes]

139. You would know.

[jtuck004]

143. Nice to have it confirmed, however. Thank you. n/t

[IrishAyes]

148. I hardly meant it as a compliment, not even a left-handed one.

More like birds of a feather.

Must I explain everything to you?

[jtuck004]

153. That thing over in the corner, that was the point. You must have missed it. n/t

[IrishAyes]

150. Since you have nothing better to do than harrass me, however, congratulations!

You are going on ignore. My stomach can only take so much.

[jtuck004]

154. I was answering your posts. But the sky already seems bluer...n/t

[TexasTowelie]

66. Now we know why you chose the moniker "Pretzel_Warrior".

That last message was twisted like a pretzel.

[L0oniX]

194. Pretzel transparency page says it all.

[grahamhgreen]

172. He leads. They follow.

[Laf.La.Dem.]

7. One of the few comgressman I "love"!!

[spanone]

8. he speaks truth to assholes.

[OriginalGeek]

9. If they'da let me

I'da voted for him twice.


Thankfully, I didn't need to.

[liberal_at_heart]

10. One of the only few democrats that would actually get my vote right now. If I lived in FL I would

absolutely vote for him.

[2naSalit]

11. Wish he were my Congresman!

[LiberalLoner]

12. Love him!

15. GO BIG GUY!

You the man!

[AsahinaKimi]

16. I sent him a link of this post via Twitter...

Gee, I sure hope he checks it out!!

[Francois Jeopardy]

22. Me too, thanks.

I would give him one pointless advice to go farther without any restrictions or political correctness. This party needs to fight the right with venom. And Grayson has the recipe for the most potent.

[The Wizard]

17. The truth will win (NT)

[Jack Rabbit]

18. K/R

Well, the Tea Party full of of racists. They claim that no one called John Lewis a (rhymes with trigger), but I'm sure someone among them did. It doesn't matter. One person calling a congressman who once marched with Martin Luther King a (rhymes with trigger) may be a one-off, but how many placards sported a caricature of President Obama as a Hollywood African witch doctor with a bone in his nose. The only justification of not condemning that as racism is that they don't know racism when they see it.

[bobopa]

19. GOOD SIR ALAN GRAYSON . . . . . .

YOU TRULY ROCK!!!!!!

[rhett o rick]

20. Keep up the good fight Rep Grayson. nm

[Glorfindel]

21. Many, many thanks to Congressman Grayson

The embodiment of courage!

[cui bono]

23. Hear! Hear! We need more Dems to speak the truth as he does.

Rock on!

[Plucketeer]

24. Thanks Alan!

And yes - you can count on my continued support.

[Swede Atlanta]

25. Thank You Mr. Grayson....

for speaking truth to power.

There is not difference in belief or motive between the teabaggers and the Nazis.

31. Alan, don't ever...

...back down from these bastards...and I'm talking about the Democrats calling for you to apologize...as for Republicans? Well you know how to handle those ass-holes without any help from me.

[Dawson Leery]

32. The teaklan cannot handle the truth.

[Zorra]

33. I hope that I have the great pleasure of voting for Rep. Grayson some day.

Because that could mean only two things. He was running for President or had been chosen for VP running mate.

[Scuba]

34. Damn, I can only rec this once.

[Paladin]

39. Count me in on this, big-time. (nt)

[Richard D]

40. Appreciation for telling the truth!~

[Stuart G]

41. Yes, "If the shoe fits, wear it"...nt

[kestrel91316]

42. Keep showing the rest of our Democrats how it's REALLY done. Pull no punches.

[Rebellious Republican]

43. Love the man, he is from my state, you know, the one that everyone loves to hate.....

[IrishAyes]

83. Aww, c'mon now - I for one never said I hate Florida!

Even if I am too scared to live there because of the hurricanes, alligators, and pythons. Wild pigs too.

Wait a minute - I think the wild pigs are overrunning Atlanta. Sorry! Anyway, I'm also afraid of Anita Bryant. Call and let me know if a gator ever gets her.

[Rebellious Republican]

220. Just because you are from Atlanta you may appreciate it, Fuck Anita Bryant....

I know some are only going to hear certain words in this little diddy, however some more open minded people will get the true meaning of this song.

[IrishAyes]

223. Unfortunately I'm having trouble playing videos right now, but I've bookmarked this.

And I'm not from Atlanta - haven't been there in quite a few years. I've just been hearing about the wild pigs. If not for the danger to bystanders, I wish people could shoot the muggers for dinner. Most urban dwellers don't realize pigs are omnivorous, not vegetarian. They can easily kill and consume smaller, more vulnerable humans and will if they get hungry enough. I'm sure there are some fools setting/leaving out dog food for the poor little dears. Wait until they kill a kid or 2 or 3, then you'll see control measures taken.

Regardless, Bryant's still the scariest of the bunch.

[Rebellious Republican]

225. You are preaching to the choir so to speak.

[IrishAyes]

226. Since when

have I let a minor detail like that slow me down? I was born on a soapbox!

[Rebellious Republican]

227. Here you can barrow mine....

[IrishAyes]

228. Thanks; but we might have to stand it on end. I'm awfully short.

BTW, aren't you afraid of getting trolled by the purists on this thread? Associating with me might set them off on you too.

If Grayson does view much of this thread, I'll bet he'd be appalled at the behavior of his less mature supporters who think he's declared open season on anyone they want to attack.

[Rebellious Republican]

230. Joke em If they can't take a fuck is what I always say!

[IrishAyes]

233. Well, they do hate being laughed at worse than anything, so go for it!

[Laurian]

44. Thank you Representative Grayson!

Don't let up on the Tea Party idiots. Tell it like it is......

[snappyturtle]

46. Love it that he minces no words....no word salads from him!

[Enthusiast]

175. No weasel words......nt

[Sedona]

47. K 'n F'n R

[jtuck004]

48. I just wish he would quit holding back. There is much more to say.

But I appreciate greatly everything he has done so far...

[polichick]

49. I love straight talk - glad he's not afraid of it...

Dem leaders are often enablers because they're so afraid to speak the truth.

[dorkzilla]

50. One of the only good things Florida has

Love the man. Speaks frankly, says shit others are thinking but are afraid to say.

[ReRe]

51. The double standard has ended!

Republicons have been allowed for decades to shame the Democrats. (Or should I say allowed by the Democrats?) I am proud of Rep Alan Grayson for standing up and ending the double standard, once and for all! By golly, if they can play hardball, the Democrats can too. I know, I know... someone is going to say "two wrongs don't make a right." Eff that. Ever since PO was elected, they have turned politics into a political race war. And Democrats need to drink our Geritol, eat our spinach, stand up straight and call a spade a spade.

You go, Alan Grayson! Thank you, and don't you ever ever change!

[tularetom]

52. The sportos, the motorheads, geeks, sluts, bloods, wastoids, dweebies, dickheads

they all adore Cong. Grayson. They think he's a righteous dude!

[7962]

188. Bonus points for the "Clueless" reference!

[LibGranny]

53. He's always right on!

Wish there were 100 more JUST LIKE him in Congress.

[DonCoquixote]

54. not only yes but

HELL YEAH!

[Judi Lynn]

55. So glad he's back where he belongs, and hope it's only the beginning.

Very best wishes, hope he will find it's worthwhile in that place. He's certainly needed.

[just us]

57. The closest thing to an honest Politician in Washington today

[Le Taz Hot]

58. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz

should be too busy working on a 50-STATE STRATEGY to worry about what another Congressman says in an e-mail, especially when that Congressman is TELLING THE TRUTH!

Keep talking Representative Grayson because you speak for me.

[Francois Jeopardy]

59. Maybe Grayson should run for DNC chair

[Le Taz Hot]

65. DNC Chair should go to Howard Dean.

But this administration just can't seem to find a place for the good Governor which says more about this administration than it does about Dean.

92. Indeed. Hopefully we collectively send him some more Congressfolk to work with.

[sabrina 1]

95. He would make an excellent President. I think we are at the point

where the country is ready for another President like FDR who doesn't feel the need to compromise on issues that never should be compromised on.

He would be a cross between Teddy Roosevelt and FDR, a no-nonsense, anti-Corporate takeover of this government who I cannot see ever compromising on the people's issues, like SS.

Grayson For President.

96. K&R

Grayson speaks the truth!

[AzDar]

97. Alan!

[Isoldeblue]

98. Being right on a majority of issues,

does not excuse him of his usually unpleasant behavior. I can't stand when he gets so patronizing and condescending to women. I watched him on Lawrence O'Donnell a couple months ago, being a total shit to Karen Finney. She didn't deserve the way he treated her..... She is not the only one he's been that way with.

Why does he have to be a hot dog, when he's on the side of right.... ? I'd still vote for him ( I do live in FL), but only because I do agree with his politics, or if there wasn't another dem I liked better...

[Francois Jeopardy]

111. Is there a video on you tube?

[Isoldeblue]

130. I've searched for it,

but had no luck finding it. It was during the Syria crisis.

But there are several that show him not being very graceful or able to admit when he's wrong. I have a problem with anyone who can't admit that.....

Here he is after being on O'Donnell's on w/Chris Hayes and Grayson dials it way down with Karen Finney, about Syria this time. It's essentially the same discussion.

Edit: The guy isn't a saint and shouldn't be lauded so highly as if he were. He can be rude, obnoxious and completely pissy. And when he's like that with women, my personal regard of him is lowered.

[beerandjesus]

192. Doesn't look so bad to me.

Sure, he was firm with Karen Finney in that video, but I think it goes WAY beyond the evidence to impute to him some latent sexism.

[Isoldeblue]

217. You may need to reread all

what I said before. Start w/#98 and then reread the one you replied to. That was NOT a video of the time I was speaking about.

[beerandjesus]

236. Ah, I was wondering...

With the 'edit' I thought you had found it after you did the initial post.

I'm a fan, but I know I've seen him be a lot harsher than he was in that particular video!

You're the only one in the house (like Bernie in the senate) that is completely sane and wants to do what's right for America. The rest are either corrupted or a few bricks short of a load.

158. The teabaggers can dish out their racist comments about the president but they can't handle

the truth about their own behavior. It is what it is.

I support Alan Grayson 100%.

166. We Need More Like Him and Fewer Neo Democrats

The false equivalency lumping the far left to the far right has to stop. The far left wants to help main street, wants to more level the playing field, the far right wants to cut taxes for the wealthy and discriminate all they can against minorities and as well to rule women's reproductive lives. Oh and bomb countries right and left and teach kids the earth is 6,000 years old. Not equal at all.

167. But...but...but he pisses off the vannities in this world so bad ;-(

I love it. vannity was bawling all day on just how terrible his KKK comment was to the "decent, righteous, noble forces of the teabaggers, uh, I mean tea party folk". It was worth listening to. You'd think he spit in their faces. I wanted to call him and say just that, "If the shoe fits, wear it." If you don't think it fits, then move on. But not that insane egotistical turd. He was OFFENDED, I tell ya! Offended! How could someone do such a thing. What an idiot. What's more sad that HIM being an idiot, and HIM having a radio and fox-nonsense spot to spew his ignorance; is the fact that there are MILLIONS of amerikkkans dumb enough to swallow his BS with a shit-eating grin on their faces. I've got three older sisters who ALL think he is a god. Oh, sweet jebus!

[Francois Jeopardy]

169. There was only one time Grayson disappointed me. That was he granted an interview with John Stossel

No like minded progressive should ever participate in anything Fox related. But I forgive him

Thank you for your commitment to truth in governance. You rekindle my hopes for re-establishing democracy removing the corporate stranglehold from the greedy and weak.

We will need all the Congressional support we can get. (I hope you become a party whip. The last two can't whip cream.)
